Later sold at Sotheby's, 18 June 1844 (B. H. Bright sale), lot 129, to Pickering, and 12 December 1854 (William Pickering sale), lot 105, to Nisbet [i.e. the Rev.

Brooke; afterwards acquired by Bertram Dobell (1842-1914).

Cited in IELM as TrT Δ 1. The verse only edited from this MS in Dobell (1903); in Margoliouth, II, 4-83, 152-82; and (omitting a poem on f. 37v) in Ridler, pp. 5-75. Philip Traherne's emendations discussed in Gladys I. Wade, The Manuscripts of the Poems of Thomas Traherne, MLR, 26 (1931), 401-7. The commonplace book section is unpublished, but discussed in Carol L. Marks, Thomas Traherne's Commonplace Book, PBSA, 58 (1964), 458-65. Facsimile example in The Poetical Works of Thomas Traherne, ed. Gladys I. Wade (London, 1932), frontispiece.

Notes and transcripts relating to this and Bertram Dobell's other Traherne MSS are among the Dobell papers now in the Bodleian (e.g. letters by Grosart to Brooke in August 1897 in MS Dobell c. 56, ff. 1, 3, 25, 27, and see also BLR, 11 (May 1984), 244-5).

MS Eng. poet. d. 3

The greater part of a quarto commonplace book of extracts, compiled by Edward Pudsey (1573-1613), iii + 104 leaves, in 19th-century green morocco gilt.

Four leaves of this commonplace book are in the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, ER 82/1/21.
c.1604-9.
Owned in 1615-16 by one Bassett and in the 1880s by Richard Savage. At the Neligan sale, 2 August 1888, lot 1098. Bought by James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps (1820-89), and his sale 4 July 1889, lot 1257.

All the Shakespearian texts except Othello were edited from this MS in Richard Savage's Shakespearean Extracts (1887). The MS also edited in Juliet Mary Gowan, An Edition of Edward Pudsey's Commonplace Book (c.1600-1615) (unpublished M. Phil., University of London, 1967). It was then found that the miscellany lacked several of its original leaves, including extracts from six plays by Shakespeare. These leaves were rediscovered in 1977 among Savage's papers at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, ER 82/1/21, and the Othello extracts identified by Gowan. The MS also discussed in J. Rees, Shakespeare and Edward Pudsey's Booke, 1600, N&Q, 237 (September 1992), 330-1; in Juliet Gowan, One Man in His Time: The Notebook of Edward Pudsey, Bodleian Library Record, 22 (2009), 94–101; in Fred Schurink, Manuscript Commonplace Books, Literature, and Reading in Early Modern England, HLQ, 73/3 (2010), 453-69 (pp. 465-9), with a facsimile of f. 31r on p. 467; and in Tom Lockwood, At Mr Marston’s Request: Edward Pudsey and the Inns of Court, N&Q, 63 (September 2016), 450-3.

See also Karl Josef Höltgen, Richard Latewar Elizabethan Poet and Divine, Anglia, 89 (1971), 417-38 (p. 430). Latewar's answer to this poem is printed in Höltgen, pp. 435-8.

Folio, 296 pages; exemplum of the first edition of Marvell's Miscellaneous Poems (London, 1681).

Folio, 296 pages; exemplum of the first edition of Marvell's Miscellaneous Poems (London, 1681) with additional MS material, namely: (a) the printed text contains various MS corrections, deletions and emendations (notably on pp. 3-5, 7-11, 14, 19-24, 27-8, 42-3, 46-7, 49, 51-8, 61-70, 72-6, 78, 80, 85, 87-90, 92-3, 95-6, 99-100, 111-14, 132), as well as other crosses, annotations and renumberings; (b) some missing stanzas in seven poems on cancelled (i.e. excised) pages of text are replaced in MS (on pp. 35[-7], 38, 103[-10], 115a-u [115-29], 116a-b [130]); (c) a series of 18 poems in MS (including at least three probably by poets other than Marvell) are bound-in at the end, on pp. 141-285 (those on pp. 272-85 crossed through); the main series of emendations in the printed text and the additional MS pages are in a single hand of c. 1700 except for the lines on p. 269, the second half of On the Monument (When Hodge first spy'd the labour in vain) which are added in another hand to replace the heavily deleted same text on p. 271, and the final poem on pp. 277-85, which is in yet another hand; some annotations and deletions, as well as a series of crosses made subsequently, are in two or three further hands, including notes by the editor captain Edward Thompson (the first dated 1775) on pp. 157, 258; lines by Sir Philip Meadows are added at the foot of p. 63 in a hand resembling that of William Popple the Younger (d. 1772).

This volume, which may originally have been prepared as a collection of Marvell's poems for an intended edition, was evidently used by Edward Thompson in connection with his edition of Marvell in 1766 (see his vol. I, xxxviii et passim, and see further the Introduction for the distinction between this volume and another MS owned by Thompson). It is evident, from details of correspondence, that this is the volume known to have been lent to Thompson by T.J. Matthias, whose wife was a descendant of Marvell's brother-in-law, Edmund Popple, the son of whom was William Popple (1638-1708), Secretary of the Board of Trade; thus it may have been compiled principally by or for William Popple. However, this conjecture cannot at present be proved beyond doubt (see particularly the caveat in Chernaik, pp. 206-7).

Cited in IELM as the Thompson Volume: MaA Δ 1. Described in BLR, 2 (May 1945), 125; in Hugh MacDonald, Andrew Marvell's Miscellaneous Poems, 1681, TLS (13 July 1951), p. 444; and in Margoliouth, I, 233-5.
Facsimiles of select pages of this volume containing MS material are in Miscellaneous Poems, 1681 (1973), and see also Kelliher, p. 65. The various MS corrections and emendations in the printed text are recorded in Margoliouth, but are not given separate entries. The volume has been discussed by all editors since 1776 and also in Kelliher, pp. 63-4, and Chernaik, pp. 206-14. It is largely used as the basis for Lord's edition (1968). For comments on the relation of this volume to the canon, see further the Introduction.
